A RUNNING DUCK
Clare Randell, copywriter for a major San Francisco advertising agency, is running for a cab one evening when she is suddenly, inexplicably shot by a sniper. When the police investigate, Lieutenant Mike Malchek discerns the mark of Edison, a deadly assassin he's been tracking for years. Then Clare's fiance is killed in a second attempt on her life, and the cold, silent Malchek is assigned to protect her.
